Source of version: 2
(current)
The English gismu list has mnemonics for some of the gismu, but not all. The following list is for mnemonics that don't occur in the gismu list, and mnemonics for other languages than English. There are quite a few gismu which have a similarity to Hebrew because of its similarity to Arabic. ;bakni:bakar ''Arabic: bakar'' ''Chinese: niu'' ''Hung.: bika'' ;cando:"Idle? I '''can do''' that!" ;catra:katal (Hebrew) ''Arabic: katal'' ''Chin.: sha'' ''Span.: matar'' ;ciska:katav (Hebrew) ''Arabic: katab'' ''Chin.: xie'' ;cmene:cem (Hebrew) ;dakli:sak (Hebrew) ''Arabic:zakib (Not sure if this is actually related or just a coincidence) Hebrew's related to Germ./Engl.: sack'' ;janco:"'''Jan'''uary gives you the cold '''shoulder'''." ;jarco:"Let me '''show''' you what's in the '''jar'''." ;jbini:bein (Hebrew) ''Arabic: bin'' ;jenmi:enemy ;jivna:mannjevning (Norwegian) ;jukni:djuk (Hebrew) ''This is a loanword from Russian, isn't it?
